A four-letter word that traditionally used to be called “arithmetic” in elementary or primary school—the third “R” in Reading, wRiting, and aRithmetic. A much-disliked school subject that is mostly used as a social filter to separate the nerds from the herd, or to politically decide the future haves and the have-nots in society.
Unlike our parents and grandparents who’re schooled in old-school math, we’re now taught new math (which includes new ways to add, subtract, and multiply numbers), Common Core math (which incorporates many new math techniques), and Singapore math (which integrates the concrete-pictorial-abstract (CPA) approach to learning math and the bar model method to solve word problems).
